Performance and public spaces require uniform coverage of sound throughout audience areas and clear speech intelligibility for users of the spaces. Our architectural acoustics professionals work with designers to create the aural environments appropriate for their intended uses. Our computer auralizations take clients beyond calculations and product recommendations, allowing them to hear what a space will sound like before it's built.
A prime contributor to the acoustic environment in any space is the background noise level, which is most often dictated by a building's mechanical system. When projects are located in loud areas—such as near airports or highways—external noise sources can also contribute to background noise. Our acoustical engineers have extensive experience dealing with all types of noise control issues, and can tailor the background sound levels in rooms to create the optimum acoustical environment.
